Notre Dame has had tough luck on the injury front in 2024, having lost a handful of starters to season-ending injuries. That again happened in a very big way in the recent domination of Stanford when All-American cornerback Benjamin Morrison injured his hip.

Marcus Freeman announced on Monday of Georgia Tech week that Morrison needs to have surgery and will be done for the year. How does Notre Dame replace the star corner?

Here is a look at Notre Dame's updated depth chart following the Morrison news as the Irish get ready to travel to Atlanta to take on Georgia Tech.
